The property, located along I-94, US 23 and US 12, is owned by Real Estate Interests Group Inc. of Bloomfield Township and Newmarket LLC. The two want to build 1,100 dwelling units in one organized village and two "hamlets," as well as 120,000 sf of retail and office space.

Housing types would include senior apartments, traditional homes and villas. The former township board approved the development with a 4-3 vote last year. However, each of the four "yes" votes were not elected to the board in November, and the majority of the new board is against the plan, Walter says.

Residents signed petitions protesting the development and have gathered enough to force a vote to approve or deny the project during the next August primary.
